Once the temps start rising outside I will stop using the heat lamp and adjust his enclosure to where it needs to be. My house gets pretty warm in the Summer, most likely from the low to mid 80s.
Anything above 85 is going to overheat him and can cause neurological problems from too much heat. They do best at a 82-85 warm side and a room temp cool side. First drop the temps and let him settle in on the new temps and see how his appetite goes from there.
